RC Aus Training

Yesterday,
Troy and I met up at Skirmish SA for impromptu gun slinging training.Troy wanted to work a few things out on his
new Empire Sniper and I’ll take any chance I can to practice my gun skills.You all aren’t meant to know this, but I’m
really bad at paintball.We had a lazy
morning of hanging out with the Rough boys from Skirmish SA, tinkering with
guns, getting mauled by blood thirsty ants etc.As it was just the two of us we had some one on one games on the tire
field.Afterwards, we did some break out
shooting practice that I found very helpful.It was a pretty laid back day, but I have sore legs as a result of the
break out drills and a sore forehead as a result of Troy’s ninja skills.We are slowly building our roster, but want
to keep building momentum as we have a goal of maintaining a presence in the
PAVS series in Victoria.As these
tournaments require significant travel on our behalf, it’s just that much more
difficult to field teams consistently.One step at a time we will get there.Next week is SAPPA round 3 and RC will be entering a team.The following weekend is PAVS round 3 and we
are pulling strings and calling in favours to get as many players rallied as we
can.More details to follow.Below is a video clip from a training session
RC had in preparations for PAVS round 1.Though we had some cardio/run and gun drills, most of the video is
comprised of ‘dodge ball’ and ‘the bottle game’.Check them out if you don’t already know
them, they are good fun.
